That would be pretty sad if they picked him up because they thought a few innings might disprove what 29 other teams thought of him. He's broken. They'll do some work to see if he can be fixed. Quote

A lot of these waiver wire pick ups are just attempts to try to slip them through later and keep the player without using a 40 man spot. 1 Quote

I like that Harris is active and keeps searching. But it's still usually from the DFA pile. At some point he'll hopefully explore trades Quote

GalagaGuy Posted Friday at 01:43 AM Posted Friday at 01:43 AM (edited) September is going to be a dogfight. Tigers are going to be playing a lot of games against teams with something to play for. Mets and Yankees are division leaders and I expect the others to be in the fight for a wildcard. 3 vs Mets 3 @ Yankees 3 vs Cleveland 3 vs Atlanta 3 @ Cleveland 3 @ Boston Edited Friday at 01:43 AM by GalagaGuy Quote

oblong Posted Friday at 03:34 AM Posted Friday at 03:34 AM If they have a 7 game lead the first week of September I think there ok. 🤔. Right? I mean what could happen. Quote

Thanks for doing the work and sharing. At first blush, the $66mm makes you think they have room to go get someone, but I wonder how much of that cushion will be needed to retain certain guys. I don't believe anything is imminent, and the threshold may rise, but it would be nice to lock some guys up early if possible. Quote

papalawrence Posted Saturday at 08:33 PM Posted Saturday at 08:33 PM Bummer for Sweeney, but necessary at this point. Have a hunch when he is back in the bigs it might not be with Det Quote
